| 1 | +# Resumable Upload Protocol (Scotty) for Java: Design Document |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document proposes the architecture and design for integrating the Scotty Resumable Upload Protocol (RUP) into `gax-java` and the GAPIC code generator. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## 1. Design Principles and Requirements |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +1. **Veneer and GAPIC Aligned**: The solution must integrate cleanly into the existing `Callable` framework of `gax-java`. |
| 10 | +2. **Stream-Safe Retries**: Java `InputStream` is forward-only. The design must provide a clean abstraction (`InputStreamProvider`) to recreate or seek the stream during recovery. |
| 11 | +3. **Double-Loop Retry & Recovery**: Implements the precise Category 1 (transient) and Category 2 (state consistency) error classification with backoffs as described in the RUP specifications. |
| 12 | +4. **Progress Reporting**: Supports asynchronous progress updates via a simple callback mechanism. |
| 13 | +5. **No unnecessary chunking**: By default, uploads send the remaining bytes in one request (avoiding unnecessary memory buffering or chunk management). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +--- |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## 2. API Design (`gax` Changes) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +We introduce a new callable type and request/response wrappers in `com.google.api.gax.rpc`. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### 2.1. `InputStreamProvider` |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +To support seeking/rewinding, the stream source is wrapped in a functional interface that can supply fresh streams on retry: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +```java |
| 26 | +package com.google.api.gax.rpc; |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +import java.io.IOException; |
| 29 | +import java.io.InputStream; |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +/** Provides a fresh {@link InputStream} for retriable upload operations. */ |
| 32 | +@FunctionalInterface |
| 33 | +public interface InputStreamProvider { |
| 34 | + /** Returns a new {@link InputStream}. */ |
| 35 | + InputStream get() throws IOException; |
| 36 | +} |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### 2.2. Progress Listener and Status |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```java |
| 42 | +package com.google.api.gax.rpc; |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +/** Listener for tracking progress of a resumable upload. */ |
| 45 | +public interface ResumableUploadProgressListener { |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + enum State { |
| 48 | + NOT_STARTED, |
| 49 | + IN_PROGRESS, |
| 50 | + RECOVERING, |
| 51 | + COMPLETED, |
| 52 | + FAILED, |
| 53 | + CANCELLED |
| 54 | + } |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + void onProgress(ResumableUploadStatus status); |
| 57 | +} |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +/** Status details for progress updates. */ |
| 60 | +public final class ResumableUploadStatus { |
| 61 | + private final long bytesUploaded; |
| 62 | + private final long totalBytes; |
| 63 | + private final ResumableUploadProgressListener.State state; |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + public ResumableUploadStatus(long bytesUploaded, long totalBytes, ResumableUploadProgressListener.State state) { |
| 66 | + this.bytesUploaded = bytesUploaded; |
| 67 | + this.totalBytes = totalBytes; |
| 68 | + this.state = state; |
| 69 | + } |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + public long getBytesUploaded() { return bytesUploaded; } |
| 72 | + public long getTotalBytes() { return totalBytes; } |
| 73 | + public ResumableUploadProgressListener.State getState() { return state; } |
| 74 | +} |
| 75 | +``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### 2.3. Request Wrapper: `ResumableUploadRequest` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +```java |
| 80 | +package com.google.api.gax.rpc; |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +import com.google.common.base.Preconditions; |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +public final class ResumableUploadRequest<RequestT> { |
| 85 | + private final RequestT request; |
| 86 | + private final InputStreamProvider streamProvider; |
| 87 | + private final long totalBytes; // -1 if unknown |
| 88 | + private final ResumableUploadProgressListener progressListener; |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | + private ResumableUploadRequest(Builder<RequestT> builder) { |
| 91 | + this.request = Preconditions.checkNotNull(builder.request); |
| 92 | + this.streamProvider = Preconditions.checkNotNull(builder.streamProvider); |
| 93 | + this.totalBytes = builder.totalBytes; |
| 94 | + this.progressListener = builder.progressListener; |
| 95 | + } |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | + public RequestT getRequest() { return request; } |
| 98 | + public InputStreamProvider getStreamProvider() { return streamProvider; } |
| 99 | + public long getTotalBytes() { return totalBytes; } |
| 100 | + public ResumableUploadProgressListener getProgressListener() { return progressListener; } |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | + public static <RequestT> Builder<RequestT> newBuilder() { |
| 103 | + return new Builder<>(); |
| 104 | + } |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | + public static class Builder<RequestT> { |
| 107 | + private RequestT request; |
| 108 | + private InputStreamProvider streamProvider; |
| 109 | + private long totalBytes = -1; |
| 110 | + private ResumableUploadProgressListener progressListener; |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | + public Builder<RequestT> setRequest(RequestT request) { |
| 113 | + this.request = request; |
| 114 | + return this; |
| 115 | + } |
| 116 | + public Builder<RequestT> setStreamProvider(InputStreamProvider streamProvider) { |
| 117 | + this.streamProvider = streamProvider; |
| 118 | + return this; |
| 119 | + } |
| 120 | + public Builder<RequestT> setTotalBytes(long totalBytes) { |
| 121 | + this.totalBytes = totalBytes; |
| 122 | + return this; |
| 123 | + } |
| 124 | + public Builder<RequestT> setProgressListener(ResumableUploadProgressListener progressListener) { |
| 125 | + this.progressListener = progressListener; |
| 126 | + return this; |
| 127 | + } |
| 128 | + public ResumableUploadRequest<RequestT> build() { |
| 129 | + return new ResumableUploadRequest<>(this); |
| 130 | + } |
| 131 | + } |
| 132 | +} |
| 133 | +``` |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +### 2.4. Callable Wrapper: `ResumableUploadCallable` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +```java |
| 138 | +package com.google.api.gax.rpc; |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +import com.google.api.core.ApiFuture; |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +public abstract class ResumableUploadCallable<RequestT, ResponseT> { |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | + protected ResumableUploadCallable() {} |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | + public abstract ApiFuture<ResponseT> futureCall( |
| 147 | + ResumableUploadRequest<RequestT> request, ApiCallContext context); |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | + public ResponseT call(ResumableUploadRequest<RequestT> request, ApiCallContext context) { |
| 150 | + return ApiExceptions.callAndTranslateCharSequenceException(futureCall(request, context)); |
| 151 | + } |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | + public ResponseT call(ResumableUploadRequest<RequestT> request) { |
| 154 | + return call(request, null); |
| 155 | + } |
| 156 | +} |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +--- |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +## 3. Transport Implementation (`gax-httpjson`) |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +The transport layer executes the actual HTTP protocol calls using the Google HTTP Client. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +We introduce `HttpJsonResumableUploadCall` to coordinate the Scotty state machine. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +### 3.1. Error Categorization in Java |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +```java |
| 170 | +private enum ErrorCategory { |
| 171 | + CATEGORY_1_TRANSIENT, // 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, TCP/Socket Timeout |
| 172 | + CATEGORY_2_MISMATCH, // 400, 412, 416 |
| 173 | + CATEGORY_3_FATAL // 401, 403, 404, etc. |
| 174 | +} |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +private ErrorCategory getErrorCategory(Throwable t) { |
| 177 | + if (t instanceof HttpResponseException) { |
| 178 | + int statusCode = ((HttpResponseException) t).getStatusCode(); |
| 179 | + if (statusCode == 429 || statusCode >= 500) { |
| 180 | + return ErrorCategory.CATEGORY_1_TRANSIENT; |
| 181 | + } |
| 182 | + if (statusCode == 400 || statusCode == 412 || statusCode == 416) { |
| 183 | + return ErrorCategory.CATEGORY_2_MISMATCH; |
| 184 | + } |
| 185 | + } |
| 186 | + if (t instanceof IOException) { |
| 187 | + // Socket timeouts, connection drops |
| 188 | + return ErrorCategory.CATEGORY_1_TRANSIENT; |
| 189 | + } |
| 190 | + return ErrorCategory.CATEGORY_3_FATAL; |
| 191 | +} |
| 192 | +``` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +### 3.2. Detailed Execution Flow (State Machine) |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +The `HttpJsonResumableUploadCall` runs inside the user's thread (or client executor pool for future execution) and implements the following flow: |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +```mermaid |
| 199 | +stateDiagram-v2 |
| 200 | + [*] --> StartSession |
| 201 | + StartSession --> UploadLoop : Success (200 OK + active) |
| 202 | + StartSession --> StartSession : Cat 1 Transient (Backoff) |
| 203 | + StartSession --> [*] : Cat 3 Fatal / Deadline Exceeded |
| 204 | +
|
| 205 | + state UploadLoop { |
| 206 | + [*] --> OpenStream |
| 207 | + OpenStream --> SkipToOffset |
| 208 | + SkipToOffset --> TransmitChunk |
| 209 | + TransmitChunk --> [*] : Success (final) |
| 210 | + TransmitChunk --> QueryState : Cat 2 Mismatch / Socket Drop |
| 211 | + TransmitChunk --> TransmitChunk : Cat 1 Transient (Backoff) |
| 212 | + } |
| 213 | +
|
| 214 | + UploadLoop --> [*] : Success |
| 215 | + UploadLoop --> [*] : Cat 3 Fatal / Deadline Exceeded |
| 216 | +
|
| 217 | + state QueryState { |
| 218 | + [*] --> SendQuery |
| 219 | + SendQuery --> ResumeUpload : Success (active + new offset) |
| 220 | + SendQuery --> [*] : Success (final) |
| 221 | + SendQuery --> SendQuery : Cat 1 Transient (Backoff) |
| 222 | + SendQuery --> [*] : Cat 3 Fatal |
| 223 | + } |
| 224 | +
|
| 225 | + QueryState --> UploadLoop : Resume |
| 226 | +``` |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +#### Step 1: Start Session |
| 229 | +- Build standard headers + merge user-provided metadata. |
| 230 | +- Pre-emptively prefix headers that affect physical bodies (`Content-Length`, `Content-Type`, etc.) with `X-Goog-Upload-Header-`. |
| 231 | +- Set `X-Goog-Upload-Protocol: resumable` and `X-Goog-Upload-Command: start`. |
| 232 | +- Execute POST with the request JSON body. |
| 233 | +- Extract `X-Goog-Upload-URL` header value to obtain the `uploadUrl`. |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +#### Step 2: Upload Loop (Transmit) |
| 236 | +- Check absolute global deadline. |
| 237 | +- Call `streamProvider.get()`. |
| 238 | +- Skip/seek to current `offset`. |
| 239 | +- Set `X-Goog-Upload-Command: upload, finalize` and `X-Goog-Upload-Offset: offset`. |
| 240 | +- Stream payload using a chunked output stream, updating the progress listener during writes. |
| 241 | +- If response is `final` with `2xx`: parse response and return. |
| 242 | +- If exception occurs: Categorize exception. If Category 2 (Mismatch) or connection drop, transition to **Query State**. |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +#### Step 3: Query State |
| 245 | +- Execute POST to `uploadUrl` with `X-Goog-Upload-Command: query`. |
| 246 | +- If response is `active`: |
| 247 | + - Extract `X-Goog-Upload-Size-Received` -> `newOffset`. |
| 248 | + - If `newOffset == offset`: apply backoff (to avoid spamming server). |
| 249 | + - Update `offset = newOffset` and transition back to **Upload Loop**. |
| 250 | +- If response is `final`: return response. |
| 251 | +- If Category 1 (Transient) error: retry query with backoff. |
| 252 | +- If Category 3 (Fatal) error: fail immediately. |
